To prevent prolonged hematomas and bruising, it is important to stop blood thinners, including certain vitamin supplements, before the operation. Patients should expect bruising and swelling to last for one to two weeks. Computer work may begin 48 hours after the procedure but know that your eyes will feel tired the first week.
